ORANGE GOBLIN’S NEW SINGLE ‘ASCEND THE NEGATIVE’ OUT TODAY
17th July 2024The new single from UK metal stalwarts Orange Goblin is out today. The riff-laden, rampaging track, titled ‘Ascend The Negative’, is accompanied by a new video by Marek Pugh (Live Evil). ‘Ascend The Negative’ is the fourth single to be taken from the band’s new album Science, Not Fiction, set for release on 19th July on Peaceville. Speaking about the new track, frontman and lyricist Ben Ward said, “We are delighted to present the 4th single from our new album, ‘Ascend The Negative’. A riff heavy exploration of the power of positive thought and changes. It’s a song about breaking old habits, breaking cycles and embracing change, forging new routines, new outlooks and new ambitions. As human beings we all have a relatively short existence on this tiny blue dot in the universe so we all need to make every day count. Conquer your demons, strive to be better and enjoy the ride!”

Orange Goblin’s new album Science, Not Fiction is their first since 2018’s The Wolf Bites Back and marks the band’s arrival on legendary metal label Peaceville. The album is inspired by a diverse range of influences, including spirituality, science, religion, and the band’s love for the sci-fi genre – “The title ‘Science, Not Fiction’ to me summarises how the world and everything we know is based on 3 fundamental things: Science, Spirituality and Religion” says Ben Ward. “It’s no secret that the band and I have always had a strong interest in vintage science fiction (particularly the dystopian kind!) and cosmic horror, whether that is movies, literature or just plain old imagery”.
For the last 30 years, Orange Goblin, London-based hard rock lifers, have tirelessly flown the flag for all out heavy metal and maximum rock ‘n’ roll. Driven by passion, persistence and heartfelt love for metal’s dark magic, Orange Goblin have always been a vital force and a risk-free bet. But while some may be content to trade on past glories, Orange Goblin view heavy metal as a lifelong pursuit. In 2024, they open a new chapter in their heroic saga, marking it with the release of their tenth studio album: Science, Not Fiction.
